Hi lists, Given that we've recently granted membership to the github QGIS Developers group to a bunch of new members, I think it's timely that we also take the opportunity to clean up the membership and drop some members.
What I specifically mean here is that we should (hopefully temporarily!!) remove developers/contributors from the groups if they haven't been active in the project for say, the last 24 months. While it's obviously sad to see once regular contributors move on, it's a perfectly natural thing as people's work/life situations evolve and change. Leaving these users with access to the repos is ultimately a security risk to QGIS. I'm concerned that there's github accounts with absolutely no Github activity at all in recent years who still have direct commit access to the QGIS repository (e.g. https://github.com/homann ). So I would propose that we set some policy regarding "temporary hiatus/removal" from the QGIS Developers/QGIS Community groups for users who aren't currently active in the project. Something like "if the user shows no activity on the QGIS repositories for 24 months, then that user will be temporarily removed from the security groups. The user is still considered a core contributor/community member, and can have these access rights revived at any time via emailing the QGIS PSC". Thoughts?
